Outside Lives A Girl

Outside lives a girl with a smile that will brighten up the room, yet inside hides a girl with a frown full of despair. Outside lives a girl with eyes of joy that brings you to ease, yet inside hides a girl shedding tears of sadness. Outside lives a girl with a beautiful laugh that's contagious, yet inside hides a girl screaming her lungs out in unwanted anger. Outside lives a girl with the personality everyone envies, yet inside hides a girl full of insecurities and shame. Outside lives a girl who is fearless and tough, yet inside hides a weak girl who lives in fear. Outside lives a girl full of life, yet inside hides a girl full of pain, wanting to die. Outside lives a girl with a perfect image, yet inside hides a girl with regrets and mistakes. Outside lives a girl of innocence, yet inside hides a girl with tremendous guilt. Outside lives a girl with goals and aspirations, yet inside lives a girl lost in confusion. What you see on the outside is my personal disguise, What hides underneath you can't even begin to imagine.
